A Daily Routine

With the burden of the world

on your shoulders

An everlasting crease of worry

          On the countenance of beauty

 

Ring Ring! The start of another day

             Time to cease and slay

Wake up the kids. Prepare lunch. Rush to work.

         And repeat without irk


Did you have lunch?

     An eternal worry of yours

Now I know why I have chores

      Or maybe just a hunch

     

Tears flow from my eyes

     But your heart aches

Thank you for everything it takes.


Black hair like the bottomless sea

          Brown eyes like iced coffee

Don't take her lightly for an instance

   She’s a mother not innocence    


The author's comments:

My relationship with my mom is very special--we are more friends than mother-daugther. This poem highlights my appreciation and acknowledgment of the hard work that she puts in for me and our family. If there's any job that is payed nothing and given no appreciation yet is the important job in the world is the work of a mother.
